I’ve got two pair of the Nantucket Red pants, a button down Nantucket Red shirt, an “ACK” belt (navy ribbon on Nantucket Red canvas). I definitely would recommend their clothes to any interested party. I do have a question about fit, however. The shirt seems to be rather baggy (actually, the word “huge” comes to mind) and I was wondering if anyone else has had a similar experience with the item. I generally fall between a large and a medium, so I purchased a large to make sure it would fit around my belly. The sleeves are a tad long and the shirt fits around the neck pretty well (it’s just a tad large, but that’s common for me), but the rest of the shirt is quite baggy. Is that the way the shirt is supposed to fit? The pants also are a bit roomier than other pants I buy in that same waist size. Has anyone had a similar experience with this clothier. Thank you for your response.
This is great. Thanks.
Being a rather endowed man I love the loose fit of the reds! I also like to roll them up on rainy days. I’m hoping I can find Nantucket Red spandex for working out. The Nantucket Red pants give me the confidance I need to go in public and look like a million bucks!
I actually decided to approve that comment.
It was a close call, wasn’t it Christian? By the way, are the shirts and pants supposed to be as baggy as I depicted them?
Sorry Paul, I wouldn’t know: don’t own any.
The pants are an obligatory souvenir, but I’ll wait until I can pick them out in person.
Good call brining this video to a wider audience. Love reds.
Our reader who likes red spandex would have loved the old Chipp jock straps.
[...] Color Blindness Primary colors and brilliant pastels are worn indiscriminately, in preposterous combinations. In some subcultures, hot pink shirts or red pants might be considered a little peculiar; Preppies take it for granted. [...]
